I LOVE that helping people and giving to people boosts our happiness as Sonja Lyubomirsky talks about in her book The How of Happiness. Brene Brown talks about the importance of being face to face (and i like to add heart to heart) with people, in order to have a whole-hearted life. Nathan Mikaere Wallis shares about the positive outcomes to our brain’s cortex and ability to take on new ideas, ways and skills, when we are standing in front of someone sharing, face to face.

Our beings receive more than we perhaps yet know by being ‘in contact’ with each other, but ‘in the flesh’ rather than ‘in’ the ‘net’.
